Summary:following the events of the known stranger another story is about to unfold
I never finished this and I dont plan to. but I figured I'd share for you all to read. it goes all over the place and is unbetated..but this is Mystic's story.
Seventeen year old Subaru Sumeragi cradled a crying baby girl in his arms. "Ssshh princess it's okay,daddy's here." The child he held was indeed his own,his and Seishirou's. He knew he was wrong in doing /that/ with Seishirou after Seishirou lost his eye protecting him. It was all in vain,because Seishirou turned his back on him anyways. Still Subaru wished he had told Seishirou about the child,maybe things would've been different. He cursed himself for the second mistake. If he had come out of his dream world his sister would still be here. He had decided to name the child Mystic Sakura,just so it could feel like Seishirou had a part in this. He had no choice,while he was off on his mission his daughter would have to be raised by his grandmother. "Grandmother,I'm leaving school and could you please,take care of her for me? I'll make sure I stop by and see her now and again."
He was as good as his word and made sure Mystic knew at least one of her parents. She was growing everyday into a fine young lady and would make a good 14th head of the Sumeragi clan. "PAPA!" The now 3 year old child came pattering when she heard her father's voice. Subaru picked his daughter up and smiled at her. "Hello princess,you've been a good girl?" "YUP!" "That's good."
"Papa? why cant I reveal my other last name to people?" Mystic looked up at her father with her matching emerald green eyes. "Because sweetheart,I've had to keep that a secret for your own sake,if people found out your were not only the daughter of the head of the Sumeragi clan but also the offspring of the Sakurazukamori,your life would be miserable.Besides, no one else but me knows that,lets keep it that way." He offered her a soft smile. "But papa,you love daddy right? And daddy loves you? So why isn't he here?I've never met him!" Subaru had no choice but to lift his eight year old daughter into his arms. "Because destiny chose this path for us Mystic-chan,your own journey has only begun."
----
"Subaru-san? Why are you dressed like that? What happened to your eye? Why do you smell of blood?AND WHY ON EARTH DO I SENSE THE SAKURAZUKAMORI'S PRESENSE IN YOU?" Subaru narrowed his mismatched eyes. "Don't throw my title around so carelessly Obba-chan." There was a brief pause. "What are you talking about Subaru-san?" Subaru looked at Lady Sumeragi. "I mean what i said,the former Sakurazukamori is.." Subaru couldn't say it,it meant facing reality again. "What matters is through a twist of fate,I became the new Sakurazukamori. I'm here for Mystic-chan and Aiko-kun I wish to drop them off with the Seals." "You abandoned your lineage,and the dragons of heaven Subaru-san." I didn't,I still have my own powers,but I did join the seven angels." "PAPA!" Mystic came plowing in,now 9 years old,the same age Subaru was when he had first met,him. She didn't care about anything else,she was just happy to hold onto her father. “PAPA!” Behind Mystic came a tiny Aiko,age seven. "Let's go Mystic-chan, Aiko-kun I have people i want you to meet." Without another word they disappeared in the night.

"Father! There aren't any oni around this part of the forest! THIS IS BORING! iIt was almost pointless to bring Celes,but I'm trying to get used to it being on my back,it looks cooler that way." The words were being spoken from a tall,blonde teenager to his dark haired father(of little patience with his sons impatience to learn.).
----------
“Demons… well I’m not dying here not without finding them.”
“Om Bo Rin Tao Shin!”
The kekkai was weak;she knew this of course.
“Aiko-kun I’m sorry…but looks like I’m going to find daddy first…”
A silver blade hacked the demons head off and besides that all she saw was a glimpse of red hair.
“Onii lurk everywhere you know…”
Without thinking of her actions she reached in her sleeve and threw ofuda,which in counter the stranger raised his left hand,making a shield.
“Cool trick girlie but you aren’t from around here are ya?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“You’re not from this world are you? Your outfits a dead giveaway. Do you know Watanuki-san too? Or was it Yuuko-san you knew?”
Emerald met sapphire. “Yuuko-san and Watanuki-san how do you know them?”
“Oh my parents do..and Watanuki-san has helped me—“
“HEY MONKEY-BUTT! FATHER SAYS IF YOU DONT GET YOUR BUTT BACK TO THE PALACE YOU’RE DOING DOUBLE CHORES FOR A MONTH!”
~#~
“Ah Sora-kun nice to see you again..I hope you’re not contacting me for another time travel trip.”
“He’s not kid,but we have an unexpected guest here and her being here has you written ALL OVER IT.”
“Ah Mystic-chan I see you made it safely and aren’t you in luck you already met the one that can bring you on your quest.”
“Eh? You mean me Watanuki-kun? i highly doubt Kuro-sama wants to go through that again.”
“No Fay-san I mean Sora-kun,don’t worry that necklace of his will make sure he can get home,always.”
“IF I EVER SEE THAT IDIOT HUNTER AGAIN IM GOING TO BEAT HIM TO A PULP.”
"Here Fuuma take it." "Whats this?" "A necklace,one day youll meet a group of travelers and befriend them and one day one of them will have a son with magic strong enough to world jump,he'll need that to get back home. "
"Cryptic as always arent you mother?" "You know she never says anything without a price,where are you going? Not a job at this hour?" "To see Subaru-kun,and i have a job later. "

“Key the shines light in the dark! I,Michiru, the convaient command you under our contract release!”
“YOU’RE ALMOST AS ADORABLE AS YOUR AUNTIE MICHIRU-CHAN!”
“Thank you Auntie Tomoyo!”
“Can I get you using one of the more gentle cards please?”
“Of course! “ The young girl paused to think.”OH!” “Wood card extended your vines to the sky to make a picture perfect forrest,RELEASE!”
Just as the wood card was summoned and became a tree a young man landed in it and crashed to the ground.
Keeping her staff in hand,Michiru ran over. “Are you okay?”
“WAHH! Oh—um—hi—yes—I’m okay—did you do this?”
“If by this you mean the tree you landed in then yes,but how did you know?”
“I know the dimensional witch and as for myself I’m a pathetic excuse for an onmyouji.”
“Well I don’t think your pathetic,I’m Michiru Tsukishirou-Kinomoto! And you are?”
“Aiko Sumeragi-Sakurazuka..”
“Come on! My house is right over that hill we’ll get you cleaned up.”
~#~
“There! That’s all taken care of,now where are you from?”
“Tokyo…though its different than yours,its full of death and despair.”
“Well I’m glad you left in a way then,now you’re here to find your parents right? I’ll help you!”
“Yes but why?”
“Well if you never left I never would’ve gotten to meet you!”
“WAHH! B-b—ut I’m nothing..really.”
“Sure you are,but how’d you get here?”
“The keeper of dimensions..”
“I’ve heard of that shop,how’d you get there?”
“My parents were the two strongest onmyouji in Tokyo,they sent me and my sister away when the Final Day grew closer,to protect us.”
——
“SUBARU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT?! BAD ENOUGH YOU HAVE THAT KID THAT CLAIMS HES YOUR SON FOLLOWING YOU AROUND AND NOW YOURE OUT WANDERING BY YOURSELF WHAT IF THAT BASTARD FINDS US?!”
“Kamui-kun? What on earth are you doing here? I saw you on the final day,you lost so what are you?”
“You’re not my brother….are you?”
“No,my only sibling was Hokuto and she’s long gone.”
“What happened to your eye?”
On instinct a hand covered the right eye. “Never mind,did you said you saw about a young boy with my double? Is his name Aiko by chance?”
“Yes”
“Well I’m glad one of them has found their way..now if only I could find mine…”
___
“Da—ddy.. I hate landing like this..and I think..were in my home..”
“Is that so? Does that mean I;ll get to see another me and Subaru-kun?”
“Yes and no…”
“Mystic-chan?”
Emerald met mismatched eyes. “PAPA!”
“So this is the Subaru-kun that was your papa hmm that eye Subaru-kun..is it mine.”
“Sei-Seishirou-san..it was,it is…it was your last gift to me…”
“Papa we can’t find the other you or Aiko.”
“I know..she told me..I’ll help you never fear of that,I want you both out of here..this world doesn’t have much longer.”
~#~
"It's been very nice of you to bring me from world to world Sora-kun." Mystic looked out the window of the room they were staying at. They were currently staying with Sorata-san and Arashi-san in a world called Hanshin."But when we jump tomorrow if i don't find at least one of them I'll just go back to my time and live with my great grandmother." Sora crossed the room. "How can you just quit like that?! You realize how many times i wanted to quit when I went back to the past? There were times when I thought i was going to fail,that I was going to die. But I was taught to never back down and to finish whatever I start. Now I started bringing you on this journey so you can see your parents again and live a happy life with them and that is what I am going to do."
It was awkward for the rest of the night so they decided to go to sleep.In the morning they bid farewell to Sorata and Arashi and prepared to warp to the next world. Mystic grabbed Sora's right hand as the boy traced the runes in the air with his left hand. The magic began to swirl as they waved farewell to Sorata and Arashi. Slowly the Hanshin Republic was fading and the next one was appearing. They landed with a crash,right into a snow bank."IT'S FREEZING! WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?" "Hmmm." Sora looked around and saw the look of an older town and covered in snow. "I believe this is the country of Jade. I could be wrong." They trekked the town and found an inn to warm up in. There weren't many people in the inn as it seemed to be late at night. Aside from inn keeper there was a few people who were drinking and someone who walked in after them dusting snow off his black robes. "Ah Father Sakurazuka,is the spirit exorcised?" The man pulled his glasses off and pocketed them. "Indeed." Mystic had frozen in spot. "Sora-kun….his last name…its my last name…but how can i talk to him?" "He's a different version of your father right?" "Yeah the one I never had the pleasure of meeting." "All the more reason,go say hi." Sora grabbed her by the wrist and walked over. Seishirou was sipping tea from a cup when the teens approached him. "Are you Seishirou Sakurazuka-san?" "I am,I take it you're the son of the magician that received Kamui's blood to survive,I can sense the same magic in you.What do you want with me?" "I am,but that's beside the point. I want nothing,it's her that does." Sora pushed Mystic in front. "Um..hello Seishirou-san." The way the girl said his name snapped the hunter's eyes open and when he focused his one good eye on the girl he nearly dropped his cup. Those eyes..it couldn't be. "This is going to sound crazy but I think i'm your daughter from another world,you see I never got to meet you but my papa talked a lot about you." "I see and what was your papa's name?" "Subaru Sumeragi." Crash. The cup Seishirou was holding slipped out of his hand and shattered. He was right this child had Subaru's eyes. "What's your name?" "Oh it's quite long,it's Mystic Sakurako Sumeragi-Sakurazuka." Seishirou cracked a grin. The girl's middle was very interesting indeed. "And what is it you want with me Mystic-chan?" "To travel with you to find papa,i don't care how long it takes I paid my price to that shop to go looking for you both." His hand raised up and touched her damp blue hair. Even her hair was styled similar to Subaru's. "You can come but I warn you,your papa has eluded me for a very long time,mainly due to your uncle dragging him around." "Maybe together we can find him." Sora felt his heart snap this was the end of his journey. "Thank you so much Sora-kun, I hope we see each other again." He watched as the girl was whipped into another dimension with her father. He waited for them to vanish before contracting on going home and tracing the spell.
He landed with a crash inside the castle. Opening his eyes he saw it was day in Nihon. He just hoped he wasn't in the past again. He heard footsteps coming towards him. Wonderful,he had no energy to deal with the army of the past. Opening his eyes to look up he saw Fay, "Sora-kun are you alright?" "Dad?" He didn't say anything more before passing out. "Kuro-rin! Help me get him to his room,he must've exhausted too much of his magic."
Sora opened his eyes and saw both of his parents looking at him. He saw Celes resting in the corner of the room. "I take it you completed your mission Sora-kun and that Mystic-chan is with her parents." Fay turned the cloth on his son's head over to the cool side. "Yeah….we found Seishirou-san and they took off to find her other dad." Sora turned his blue eyes on Kurogane. "Can we not do training today father? I don't think i can,I would like to get up though." Sora got out of bed and left his room. He sat just outside the palace gates. "Something mustve happened if the brat doesn't want to spar off." Slow as always Kuro-sama." "OI! Wipe that knowing smirk off your face or I'll cut it off!" "You didn't notice? It's so obvious." "Well just say it already." "Sora-kun has fallen in love."
-----
They had landed in the country Koyro. It was for the most part very peaceful and the people there seemed unphased by a teenage girl and her father in strange clothes."So Syaoran's group was through here. It would explain why they're so accepting of us." They were out back in the yard of the house they were staying at. "Daddy?" "What is it Mystic-chan?" "That sword thing you use in battle,how do you do it?" He smirked at the girl. "A highly concentrated force of magic,you know how to make a shikigami don't you?" A brief pause. "I do,not very well,I was never able to do it like papa could." She reached into her dress pocket and pulled out an ofuda. The small bird she conjured was white and black. "A true practicer of omyjiousistu. Yin and Yang." He paused standing up. "I'll show you but no need to get frustrated if you don't get the hang of it right away."
---
They had stayed in this world for a bit letting her practice,she apparently was tired of her daddy protecting her. She had managed to conjure a sword like his but hers was white with some hints of black. "Very good Mystic-chan,but I think we should get going to the next world if we are to find your papa."
---
Since meeting up with her daddy they had been to about five different worlds on the search for her papa. Not a trace of him yet. This world they were in didn't seem to have any demons that needed exorcising so that meant camping out for the two of them tonight,they'd move on in the morning.Her daddy was leaning against the tree his eyes closed,presumably asleep,while Mystic sat a little ways away looking up at the sky. 'You're out there somewhere aren't you papa? Why is Uncle Kamui so intent on keeping you away from daddy and I?'
"Mystic-chan." She jumped slightly. "I thought you were sleeping daddy." "No,but you should be.We're leaving early tomorrow." "It's hard to sleep,thinking about what world he could be in and if he's alright and if when we find him he'll believe me." He pulled the girl closer and forced her to lay her head down on his lap. "Mystic-chan,you needn't worry about such things,Subaru-kun is..very kind,he'll believe you. If you could convince me you'll have no problem convincing him. Now for the last time go to sleep." He placed a hand over her bright green eyes as they closed slowly. He turned his own attention up to the sky as his daughter had been doing earlier. 'Well Subaru,how much longer until that fated day when we meet again?'
Somewhere far away in another world,Subaru was looking out the window as night began to fall. Kamui had left in search of food for them both for the night.He placed a hand on the window. "Please Seishirou,find me soon,it's been far too long,I've seen your brother more than I've seen you."
---
She swore her father was part cat,he landed with such a grace when they hopped worlds. She didn't,she sat up after the landing only to have her father lift her up to stand properly. "This is a world of magic Mystic-chan,I'm going to see what I can find out,you're free to wander but be back here before it gets dark." "You won't jump worlds without me right?" "No." A soft pat to her head and he was off. Mystic started to wander. As she was walking she heard yelling. "Goddamnit FUUMA OFF! GET OFF!" She broke into a run. When she got there she two men that resembled the two "Kamui's" she had seen battle. "Oh but Kamui you know how much i love you." "AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE YOU!" "Kamui,mother taught us never to lie." "Sush Subaru! WILL YOU GET OFF SO I CAN GO EAT PLEASE?! GO HUNT SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF BEING LIKE YOUR PERVERTED BROTHER!" Mystic didn't hear the rest of the conversation,he had said Subaru and she was pretty sure this was her papa. He looked a lot younger,but then daddy said he was a vampire. She approached him and he looked at her with those sad green eyes. "Are you Subaru Sumeragi-san?" A soft smile. "I am,can i help you?"
"Please don't think I'm crazy,but I'm Mystic Sumeragi--"Mystic bit her tongue and decided not to say her full name yet. "I'm your daughter from another dimension,I came to this place looking for you since both my parents are dead." She managed to keep a straight face through the story,it was only the fourth time she had told it. To the witch,to Sora,to her daddy and now to her papa. She wasn't expecting the hug she got. "I'm sorry,that must've been so hard to endure,and I thought I had it bad. " He paused. "I believe you,but where's your mother?" Subaru tried not to think that in some other wold he had been with someone other than Seishirou,but Seishirou definitely wasn't the family type. "Come on i'll show you!" He let the young girl pull him towards the main library of this world. Darkness was falling,she knew she'd get scolded but it was worth it. "Wow this place is huge,the last world I was in could fit in the library." Her papa was such a kid at heart no matter where he existed. "Mystic-chan! There you are I told you to be here by dark--" The books he was holding clattered to the ground making Subaru turn around. "Seishirou-san?" "Subaru-kun?" "How do you know Mystic-chan?" A smile. "Didn't you know Subaru-kun? This is our daughter from another world." Green eyes widened,it seemed no matter where,he was destined to fall in love with Seishirou and this girl was proof that they loved each other. Since Subaru seemed to be glued to the spot it was Seishirou that made the first move. He hugged the young vampire. "Caught you, Subaru." Subaru whispered in his ear. "About time,Seishirou" Mystic decided to join in the hug. "I'm finally home."
"SUBARU! THERE YOU AR--YOU! GET YOUR HANDS OFF HIM!" Kamui felt himself being held back. " LET GO FUUMA LET ME GO! YOU DISTRACTED ME ON PURPOSE YOU KNEW YOUR BROTHER WAS GOING TO SHOW UP HERE DIDN'T YOU?!" "Maybe,hello Nii-san,it's been awhile hasn't it?" "Whose to say Fuuma?" "Uncle Kamui? Uncle Fuuma?" Mystic's voice was soft as she let go of her parents. "Now whose this pretty little thing Seishirou?" Seishirou didn't answer Fuuma he just smirked. "I'm their daughter Mystic Sakurako Sumeragi-Sakurazuka." "Well then,she clearly gets her good looks from Subaru-san then OW! THAT'S MY HAIR SEISHIROU!" "I'm aware of that,shame theres no sakura trees in this world." "NII-SAN! YOU WOULDNT." "I would,now take it back and i'll let go." "Seishirou…" Hearing Subaru's voice made him let go of Fuuma's hair. "Uncle Kamui please don't make papa leave,please I've been looking for him all this time." Mystic looked at him with his wide green eyes. "You're debating it,I'll know once,I'm allowed to be with them my wish will go into effect."
Omake
She had to admit being a child again was a bit annoying but she was glad she was going to experience being raised by her parents. Despite not being the same people who brought her into this world,their presence was the same. The three of them were walking down the street in some strange world.It must look odd to the people of this world,on her right was her papa in his stunning black cloak and a beauty no human could possess. He gripped her little hand tight in his gloved hand and she gripped as tight as her six year old hands would let her. On her left was her father who wasn't the least bit dangerous as her grandma back in Tokyo made it seem. He to was in black and(the child wasn't sure) worked as an exorcist. Her little hand was held in his as well. Without warning Seishirou let go of her hand and covered her green eyes so she wouldn't see what him and Subaru saw. They were looking at a poster on a wall. "Ah it seems this world will be trouble Subaru-kun." "Yes Seishirou-san,so let us please find a safe place to sleep for the night and leave in the morning." This world wasn't too keen on vampires it seemed. "Ah Subaru-kun you should take Mystic-chan and stay hidden,I'll see if I can get a quick job so we can spend the night indoors." Subaru gathered the young child up in his arms. "Papa? What's wrong?" "Nothing sweetie,your daddy's looking for work so you and I are going to sit somewhere safe."
Before his daughter could protest again they started walking to give Seishirou time to work his "charm" on the village. They decided to wait in a nearby park so they hopefully wouldn't draw too much attention and would be easily found.For the most part they were left alone and when the sun was beginning to set,Subaru unfastened his cloak and laid it down on the ground. "Come on Mystic-chan,come nap. Your daddy may not be back for a bit," Mystic willingly curled up on her father's cloak. "Papa,I'm hungry.." The young vampire sighed,it had been awhile since they had anything decent to eat.He really didn't need to eat solid food unlike his daughter did. He pulled his cloak over her to keep her warm. He put his hand on her and closed his own eyes. He wondered what his brother was doing now(they had gotten separated in a world jump and by some twist of fate Subaru found Seishirou waiting for him with Mystic) and he also wondered what his other self(Mystic's REAL father) was thinking. She was a human,she needed two human parents. Not a full blooded vampire and a human that was given vampire blood. He mused to himself what Kamui would do when he found out about Mystic. Throw a fit no doubt about that and ask how the hell did it happen and how could he be sure this girl was his real daughter. Subaru had wondered that himself at first,how could he be sure. When he saw Seishirou standing there with a teenaged woman he had panicked thinking he had found someone to replace Subaru. Then the girl came over and said the same thing she had said to Seishirou."This is going to sound crazy but I'm your daughter from another world,I was sent here in hopes of finding you both again". He looked at her to Seishirou who just grinned and it hit him as well. She was his daughter from another world. He embraced the girl and spoke. "I'm sorry," "Eh? Sorry for what? YOU CAN'T BE LEAVING. He told me that there was no promise you'd stay!" "No,i'm not leaving,I'm just sorry for your suffering." Subaru was pulled out of his memories by someone not only approaching them but foolishly placing a hand on the strange teenager. Sensing it wasn't his brother,Seishirou or anyone he knew,Subaru's eyes opened ant they flashed to golden-yellow. He'd been jumpy ever since a few worlds back,but that was for a good reason. "I knew it, I knew you had to be a vampire,just by the way all the girls swooned when they saw you. No normal boy gets that much attention." Subaru's eyes flashed back to their emerald green color.
All the commotion woke up Mystic. "Papa what's going on?" "This child is your daughter? Then she too must be a disgusting vampire." Mystic cuddled into Subaru who held her tight. He didn't answer the villagers question.
"Actually that's not true,that child is from another world and is the daughter of two onmyouji. Powerful ones from what I understand." "Father Sakurazuka! Please exorcise the vampire then so we can save the child." Seishirou pulled his glasses out of his pocket and put them on his face. "I've been searching the worlds for him and you expect me to just exorcise him like that?I want to have some fun with him first." His eerie black sword had manifested into his hand. "We'll need a place for the night and that's all. We'll be out of here in the morning. Refuse and ah,I'll kill you all. Especially you,you touched him didn't you? No one but me and possibly his brother if I'm feeling generous can touch Subaru-kun." Needless to say they were provided with a room for the night.
Subaru was the first to open his eyes the next morning and in doing so he felt two pairs of arms around him. One pair was tiny and had a light grip,Mystic,who was also holding her baby brother. The other pair,which had a stronger grip was of course Seishirou's. Subaru's own arms were around him as well. It seemed they could really work as a family,which was a good thing he mused to himself as he placed his hand on his stomach. Seishirou had taken the news better than what Subaru had ever hoped.He tugged his glove off his left hand to reveal a band there. Grinning softly he kissed his partner's forehead before closing his own eyes and deciding they could stay like this for just a little while longer.
Seishirou cracked his eyes open and witnessed everything Subaru did,feeling his stomach,admiring his wedding band and he felt the kiss to his forehead. Seishirou had to admit to himself when Subaru had saved him forever ago,he never expected this. To not only be married to Subaru,but to have an adopted daughter and son (but were they really adopted? She was Subaru's and his daughter from another world.) Plus they had another child on the way,one that was definitely their own. Not to say Mystic and Aiko weren't. Leaning over he placed a kiss to Subaru's forehead causing the vampire's eyes to flutter open. "Sei--" "Shh,don't want to wake Mystic-chan or Aiko-kun up do we? We can hop to the next world in a few hours. Maybe we'll run into both Kamui and Fuuma there." Seeing Mystic squirm in-between them they both ceased talking and attempted to fall back to sleep.
~#~
“Mystic-chan,Aiko-kun come here we need a word with you.”
Eight year old Mystic and her six year old brother padded into the room where their parents sat a map of Tokyo laid out in front of them.
“Looks like the Sunshine 69 building is gone and so is Rainbow Bridge. Then whats next? Theres no clear pattern.”
“Wheres Auntie Hokuto?”
“With Kakyou-san..but thats enough for now we brought you here for a reason.”
“Whats that…..daddy? Papa?”
“The year is 1999 and it’s time now for you two..”
“We don’t have time Subaru-kun the way the kekkais are going down we need to get them out here.”
“Wait were are we going?”
“To a magician far wiser than both of us,your journey has only begun.”
“But we want to stay with you!”
“No..this is for the best..we’ll see each other again some day..somehow.”
Emerald eyes met mismatched eyes and both men started to chant.
““Noubou akyasha kyarabaya om arikya aribori sowaka kyarabaya noubou akyasha kyarabaya om arikya aribori sowaka.”
The decagram appeared at their children’s feet.
“when you get to where you’re going explain everything,she will help you.”
~#~
“Welcome to the shop if you’re here you have a wish although just by looking at the pair of you I know who you are and have been expecting this day for a long time now.”
“We want to be with our parents that’s all we want!”
“And you will there are many worlds and somewhere theres a world where its peaceful but com pensation will be necessary and in this case you will pay with time.”
“So what are you parents like?”
“In my world they were onmyouji,I don’t know what they’ll be like when I find them. Yuuko-san says there are many worlds and fates are different.”
“That’s true I wonder if theres different versions of my parents out there somewhere.”
“Maybe one day we can continue traveling and you’ll find them.”
“YEAH! I mean I’ll always love my parents even if living with them comes with a pain for a sister but I want to explore. Life’s to short to live in one place forever.”
“I’m just worried that when i finally DO find them there will be another version of me…with them.”
“Now is that any kind of attitude to have?” The young girl reached into her pocket and pulled out a card and waved it in front of his face. “You gotta have hope.”
"Sure you can handle yourself out there girlie? there are onii a lot tougher than the one you faced in the forest"
"Yes i can handle my self just fine THANK YOU. my parents were the two strongest onmyouji in Tokyo."
"What the bloody hell is that?"
"I dont expect a caveman to know!"
~#~
“Ah Michiru-chan I don’t want to leave you behind…”
“He’s your papa right? I had fun traveling with you but you have to get going.”
“But I…I..”
“Aiko-kun…go.”
“I love you…”
He was met with a soft smile and tender kiss to the cheek. “In that case we’ll see each other again I’m sure of it,the cards say so.”
“Ehh but why?”
“Because silly,I love you too. Now get going or I’ll make windy carry you over there.”
“Um excuse me..”
Kind eyes turned to the young boy and he received a kind smile. “May I help you?”
“Um I think so you see..”
Before he could speak another young man joined them.
“Subaru! It’s that bastard playing tricks on you again!”
“Eh? Kamui he’s not Seishirou-san…he has both of his eyes…”
“Um..thats my daddy’s name..my name is Aiko and i’m yours and Seishirou-san’s son,Subaru-san.”
~#~
“I still say that bastard sent him after you Subaru.”
“I don’t think so and even if he did;he’s our son;I need to help him.” A gloved hand rubbed through dark hair as the boy slept on.
“He’s sound asleep oh the burdens he mustve went through to find me. I feel bad.”
“Subaru just stop before you start blaming yourself again.”
Unknown to the twins and Aiko another pair was under the night sky in some world or another.
“How much longer are we staying in this world?”
“We leave in the morning.”
“Eh but morning is only a few hours away.”
“Precisely why you should be asleep;leaping worlds isn’t an easy feat you know.”
“But what about you?”
“Vampires don’t sleep Mystic-chan.”
“I thought only papa was a vampire in this time and space not…OH.”
“Figured it out have you? Smart girl,now go to bed.”
“But..”
“No buts Mystic-chan.sleep morning is almost upon us.”
“But daddy I wanted to keep you company.”
“Why for?”
“Because your eyes..they look so full of loneliness.”
He had to turn his head to hide the expression he was making. “Never mind..just go to sleep.”
The girl pouted in a way that resembled the aunt that in this world was non existent. Stubborn as ever she crawled over and laid in the grass her head in her fathers lap.
“What are you doing Mystic-chan?”
“Sleeping and keeping you company at the same time.”
“Really is that so?”
Memories flooded back and they came with a pang,a very painful pang,right in his chest.
“Is it really okay for me to be out here Seishirou-san?”
“Yes Subaru-kun,no one will dare come this close not with demons on the border,when I tell you to stay out of sight however do so.”
“Of course..um may I rest on you a bit?”
“Of course.”
Subaru’s head rested on the hunter’s lap and instantly felt soft fingers run through his hair.
“Is this..is this really okay? For us to be like this?”
“It is anyone tries to say other wise I’ll kill them.”
“Um..Seishirou-san?”
“Hmm?”
“I um wanted you to know..no matter what happens..I love you..”
Amber eyes widened. “I think..I think I love you too…”
“Why are you crying?”
Mismatched eyes opened and was staring into determined emerald eyes.
“Ah I’m not crying,just strain for being up so long I guess.”
“But daddy you said vampires don’t sleep. So why were you crying? Is it something i can help with?”
A pale hand touched the girls head ruffling up dark blue hair. “I’m alright really,just thinking about better days. i thought i told you to get to sleep?”
“You were shaking,it woke me up.”

Mystic brushed her hair as she got ready for bed.
“I wish I was a vampire then I’d never have to sleep..although according to Aiko papa slept so maybe daddy was just being stubborn.”
Walking into the main bedroom they all had to share on this world. Aiko was asleep in his bed and the young woman had to bite her lip when she looked in her parents bed. Both her parents were sound asleep. She had never seen her daddy asleep before..he looked like a lost child.
The teenager sat on her bed watching her family sleep. She never saw her parents sleep much in that other world either;they rarely had time to themselves let alone time to sleep together. They looked so content and relaxed and what was the other? Oh trust.
Even her brother had found someone;he flailed whenever he spoke of it but only an idiot would realize that it wasn’t love.
She had slept near a certain magician when they were world hopping and once she swore they had once held hands…
‘Oh no..dont tell me I’m…’
Green eyes welled up with tears. “I’m..I’m in love with Sora-kun…”
“How do you tell someone you’re in love with them?”
“Well for starters never tell them on your death bed making them shed blood for you to save them;thats always a good place to start.”
“WAH DADDY!”
“Hush now youll wake your papa and brother.”
“I’m sorry..but is that how you told papa?”
“Mmhmm so who has my daughter fallen for?”
“Promise not to get mad?”
“I suppose i can promise that.”
“Well i think its..”
The young girl swallowed before meeting that mismatched stare. “Sora-Kun,”
“Oh dear this is a problem seeing as you’re in two different times and places;I know the feeling.”
